The Christkindlmarkt

Enjoy the unequalled atmosphere of Munich's Christkindlmarkt!

Since the year 1310 the Munich Christmas Market (Christkindlmarkt) has been held between the first Advent Sunday and Christmas Eve (24th December). In days gone by it was known as St. Nicolas' Day. Marienplatz (Mary's Square) in the shadow of the town hall is always well worth a visit for fans of the festive period.

At the christmas market behind the town hall, be amazed at the many hand-carved figures and entire nativity scenes, and buy some for yourself. The range of christmas tree decorations really is worth seeing.

The Munich christmas market is not quite as famous as the Nuremberg version, however.
